legal examination preparatory to being placed
upon trial for murder. His guilt could orly
be determined beyond q reasonable doubt, By
the usual forms and proceedings in your

defence-whether he was of sound mind and
responsible for his acts, we are only left to

less persons violently entered your Jail, seiz-
ed Mussel, dragged him along your streets,
and in a public place, and in the presence of
hundreds of citizens and spectators, without
form or authority of law, hanged him by the
neck until he was dead. These persons were
not disguised. No doubt many of them are
known, for l am informed they attempted no
concealhent. They came together for q COM

which Mussel was charged had been commit

persons, and by the enormity of the crime
render them in q manner irresponsible for

THE QUESTION OF GIANTS.
Some of the Scientific Jokes Played Upon
the CreduIous.


DR.. Harvey w. Hardness, President of
the Academy of Sciences, was asked by a
Call man what he thought of the reported
discovery in Arizona of giant skeletons of
men. Two such reports have come lately
over the wires to San Francisco, in each
instance stress being laid upon the enor-
nous tusks. rather than teeth, that were
found in the jaws of each skeleton.
In reply to the query the doctor laughed
and said: These yarns belong to the
same category as the stories of lizards and
snakes cast from the stomachs of people,
OF frogs found imbedded in coal, and other
margels Of ike sort that are periodically
dished up fol the benefit of credulous read
ers. This skeleton romancer, however, has
spoiled his market by seasoning his goods
too highly. No human being OF eight feet,
or any other number of feet in hight, could
possibly have teeth three and half inches
in length.
These giant stories crop up periodically,
the locality of their finding being changed
to be sure, but in other respects The same
flavor of untruth pervading them all.
Every one of these tales winds up with the
suggestion that the traces of a giant race
have at last been found. Now the fact is
that all scientific research conciusively
proves that there not only has never ex-
listed q race of giants, but that all the peo-
pie of the past were, as a rule, smaller in
their dimensions than are the people of the
present day. The coats of armor prove
this to have been the case with the men of
the Middle Ages. and in like manner it
is proved by relics of Rome and Greece.
4 have measured many Egyptian num-
mics with similar result, and skeletons of
the prehistoric Irish race added their quota
of evidence IN the same effect A nd So II
has happened in ever land where ethnolo-
gists have had opportunity to study the
bones of the by-gone people. The physical
improvement of man has kept pace with his
mental advance-a fact that can be easily
understood by him who appreciates the eff
feet upon the physique of hygenic discoy-
cry and protective laws.
~ have also noted of late several ac-
counts from Alaska of live mammoth, or
some such animal. that is reported to have
been seen by Indian hunters in different
parts of that Territory. This is where the
modern Munchausen has got in his work
again-basing his romance upon the frozen
Eleptas primoge1ltS that was found some
years ago on the bank of the Lena river, in
Northern Siberia.
How the aforesaid animal came to be
encased in frozen earth and preserved for
thousands of years is question that has
not yet been satisfactorily determined, but
we do know that at the time of its death it
had been subsisting upon deciduous plants
belonging to very temperate or semi
tropical climate We also know that such
animals could not retain life upon the food
to be found in the Siberia and Alaska of to-
day, and we therefore know that no such
animal is at present living in Alaska.-Sdrl
